Terrible Experience in a very hot weather weekend!
The front desk clerk when I checked in was very unpleasant and NOT friendly at all. She did not make me feel welcome, when she asked questions, her demeanor was as if she was mad at me. The air conditioner is control by management NOT guests and my room was very hot and couldn’t adjust it, my stay was not pleasant at all. They charge $15 per day per parking when it is an open parking lot in the property, doesn’t make any sense at all, there’s not even a security guard! Again, one of the worst places I have stayed.

Property was difficult to find…no beach access Even though They advertise it’s close to the beach. Over a mile walk downhill to the beach and very little public access to the ocean must cross a major thoroughfare to get to the beach itself. For older guests the walk back to hotel would be impossible due to the extreme hill. Definitely not will be expected. Beds were old not comfortable and the pillows were flat. Would not recommend!
